Yeah, surely prefer the newer version. It looks more natural to me. Besides,
I have never been fond of the letter "x". Is there a web page somewhere on
Glasca?

BTW Did you translate it from my English translation from Hattic? It seems so,
since "little lark" was entirely my invention. What I tried to do was stay
very close to the original, make a metric version AND use rhyme at the same
time; I'm quite satisfied with the result. The normal word for "lark" would
be "tišna", but to make it fit better into the meter, I choose for the
diminition "tišnala".
Is this the beginning of a new relay with the same text? ;)
